JOHN PETTENGILL, JEFFERSON, MAINE.

DISH-WASHER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 703,460, dated July 1,1902.

' Application filed February 27,1902. Serial No- 96,021. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, JOHN PETTENGILL,a citi-'zen of the United States, residing at J efferson, Maine, have inventedcertain Improvements in Dish-Washers; and I dohereby declare thefollowing to be a full, clear, and ex act description of the invention,suchas will enable others skilled in the 'art to which it appertains tomake and use the same.

This invention relates to improvements in dish washers in which thearticles to be washed are contained in a vessel which is to be rotatedin an inclosing vessel.

Figure 1 is a perspective view of my improved dish-washer with thedish-receptacle Fig. 2 is a horizontal section taken on the line of thebottom of the dishreceptacle.

In said drawings similar letters designate corresponding partsthroughout, referring to which A represents the inclosing vessels, inwhich is contained the water for Washing the dishes or other articles,preferably of circular form about the proportionalfsize illustrated,provided with a central socket O to receive the spindle or post D. i f

B indicates the inner vessel or dish-receiver,

I with a perforated bottom,provided with the spindle or post D, whichturns in said socket and is attached to said dish-receptacle at a bridgeK, running across the upper edge of said dish-receptacle, and which isfitted with a handle E, whereby it will beseen that the.

about the-inner side of the water-receptacle A are a number of "erticalflanges or lips H, extending at an acute angle from the inner side ofthe exterior vessel A, nearly engaging with'the flanges G, and beingplaced in diverse direction from the flanges G.

In the practice of my invention I prefer to detachably connect the postor spindle D, so as to enable the operator to remove the dishreceptacle,if desired. The result obtained by extending the lips or flanges on bothvessels and rotating the inner vessel is to turn the centrifugal forceof the water coming in contact with the extended flanges or lips of theexterior receptacle into a reverse current through the slots of theinterior vessel and to bring a strong force of water to bear upon thearticles to be cleaned.

vided on its inner sides with vertical flanges extending at an angletherefrom,a socket mounted centrally in the receptacle, a bridge acrossthe top of said receptacle provided with a bearing, in combination witha dish-holding receptacle having a perforated bottom and providedwithvertical slots in its side wall, lips or flanges extending outwardlyfrom the .slots at an acute angle and in opposite directions from theflanges upon the inner wall of the'outer receptacle, said innerreceptacle being mounted on a shaft, said shaft being provided with ahandle, substantially as set forth.
